It's classic car week at Monterey, leading up to Sunday's big show at Pebble Beach. But - it's not just classic cars that fans are flocking to see -- rare watches are in the spotlight as well. Inspired by a group of classic cars highlighting RM Sotheby’s auction, each of the 18 watches on offer in "Watches Online: The Driver’s Collection" were selected by Jonathan Burford, Sotheby’s Watches and Clocks Specialist in Los Angeles, along with partner Bob’s Watches, to pair with a car on offer in the auction. Jonathan Burford joined The Final Round to discuss.

It's considered one of the most famous cars in the world; the James Bond's Aston Martin DB5, that is. And it's up for auction and could sell for $6 million dollars. Barney Ruprecht who is RM Sotheby's Senior Car Specialist, joins 'On the Move' to discuss more.

Ruby has chosen seven of his own works that have not been on the market before, including a new, large-scale WIDW (window series) painting and ceramic sculpture made for the online show (price rage $45,000-$600,000, September 27-October 8). Ruby will pair his works with items by historical artists, also for sale, to bring out his influences. Ruby has also aligned himself with the photographer Brassaï and the Italian Modernist Lucio Fontana.

A year after Banksy stunned the art world with a booby-trapped painting that shredded itself moments after its sale, the work of the anonymous street artist is once again hitting the auction market — this time with a caustic comment on British politics. “Devolved Parliament” — at 13 feet wide, Banksy’s biggest known work on canvas — depicts the rambunctious culture of the Commons by populating the green benches with troops of the artist’s signature chimpanzees. The previous high was $1,870,000 in 2008 for a Damien Hirst spot painting stencilled over by Banksy.

A collection of more than 800 clocks and watches spanning watchmaking from the Renaissance onwards is on target to fetch more than £30m, after the first of four auctions raised £9.6m. Sotheby’s Masterworks of Time auctions — which the company describes as “one of the most important and comprehensive collections of timepieces ever assembled” — cover 500 years of horological history. The family consigned the pieces to the auction house following his death 18 months ago.

Hedge funds aren’t what they used to be. They used to be exclusive investment vehicles where wealthy investors could generate double digit alpha with very little correlation to the major market indices. Nowadays most hedge funds don’t deliver uncorrelated returns at all and they generate minuscule returns after fees and expenses. I am not saying […]

Sotheby’s said Thursday its shareholders approved the $3.7bn sale of the auction house to billionaire telecoms executive and art collector Patrick Drahi. The deal with Mr Drahi’s BidFair USA received support from 91 per cent of the shares voting at a special meeting held in New York.

A much-hyped car auction sputtered out in the weirdest way Saturday. A 1939 Porsche “Type 64,” the only of its kind still existing, was expected to sell for around $20 million at an auction by RM Sotheby’s (BID) in Monterey, Calif., on Saturday night. Auction-goers heard bidding start at $30 million, then $40 million, and as the now-abuzz crowd gasped and cheered, it quickly zipped up to $70 million — a record price for any car auction.
